At the heart of SUBLIMAGE radiates the
ultimate revitalising power of Vanilla Planifolia. To create a
skincare product with ultimate revitalising power, it is necessary to
craft the active ingredient in its purest state, its very
quintessence. This is the philosophy behind SUBLIMAGE, faithful to the
art of skincare by CHANEL.

Day after day, SUBLIMAGE La Crème Yeux
reveals the infinite power of your eyes.

It all began on the island of Madagascar,
one of the richest biodiversity reserves in the world. On this
preserved land, CHANEL scientists intuitively knew that they could
find the key to a unique anti-ageing skincare product. They
investigated the nature and observed the vegetation. They listened to
the inhabitants and discovered a legendary plant, known for its
extraordinary revitalising properties: Vanilla Planifolia, vanilla
from Madagascar. Created by nature and crafted by CHANEL, it is now at
the heart of SUBLIMAGE.

The SUBLIMAGE ingredient

An anti-ageing treasure

Amongst 117 varieties of vanilla from all
over the world, Vanilla Planifolia was selected for its exceptional
concentration of active anti-ageing molecules. It is grown in the
region of Ambanja, using an unprecedented cultivation method that
recreates the natural shade of the forest in perfect temperature and
humidity conditions.

For the fruits: pollination is done
entirely by hand, calyx by calyx. For the flowers: they are
carefully gathered by hand.

Using the expertise of CHANEL Research,
all of the revitalising power of Vanilla Planifolia is concentrated in
the original molecular combined blend of two polyfractioned active
ingredients. One extracted from the fruit and the other from the flower.

The raw fruit and flower extracts are
first refined and purified separately, using a "scientific
crafting" process exclusive to CHANEL: polyfractioning.

Then, a series of over 20 operations are
required to create the recombined active quintessence of the fruit and
flower. This ensures the exceptional power of Planifolia PFA, the
enriched active ingredient of SUBLIMAGE that acts on all signs of ageing.

The Éphémères of Planifolia

There is a key moment in the life cycle
of Vanilla Planifolia when the fruits of the plant become concentrated
with powerful active ingredients.

THE revitalising POWER OF SUBLIMAGE

Vanilla Planifolia reveals infinite
revitalising powers at the heart of each SUBLIMAGE creation. The skin
continuously reveals its beauty.
